MB Ship's Clock Solid Brass Nautical Ships Maritime Timekeeper

Solid brass clock, not brass plated, and is heavier than it looks, perhaps a couple pounds. Requires one AA battery, not included. The quartz mechanism appears similar to what you can buy in a hobby store if you need to replace it, but may this be higher-quality. The brass clock itself will last a very very long time. The clock is deeper than I expected at 2 1/4 inches, which means it will stand out from the wall a bit more than I expected, but it does give it a very substantial look and is worth it. The brass is polished to a nice finish . Three 1/8” holes for mounting on the wall. My unit did not come with screws. We will use it in our sailboat, mounted on a cherry wood plaque. The clock does make a very soft ticking sound, although at night, hanging on a sailboat wall, it may sound louder. This clock looks like it cost much more.

Does not keep time. No access to battery once mounted. Must unscrew from bulkhead to replace battery which seems to discharge very quickly. Brass began to tarnish and form splotches in less than a year.

The advertised "Mounting Hardwares & Brass Screws With Necessary Mount Included and Supplied" were not in the package.After the battery is installed and the clock is mounted, you will have to remove the three screws and dismount it again to replace the battery. Not a good design. I have seen others that have the clockworks side out of the mounting ring for battery replacement.

This is the second one of these I’ve ordered; the first one, I damaged by trying to turn the hands backward, to reset it. The problem is caused by the fact that the clock is screwed onto the wall; to reset it for Daylight Savings Time, you don’t really want to have to unscrew it from the wall to get to the knob to adjust the time (twice a year). Anyway, both clocks have been beautiful, and kept time perfectly (quartz movement).

The hour hand and minute hands were not in sync when I received this, and was going to return it. Turns out the bezel unscrews, and I could move the hands to be in sync. And this should work well on the boat, and it does not make a ticking sound which I like.

Great little clock for the money. Well made of metal with a nice brass finish. Bezel screws off and has a moisture guard. Unscrews well if a bit crude milling. Over 5 days very accurate time. It is dead quiet. The second hand sweeps, it doesn’t click. I’m very pleased. Buying another for my office. Battery access from open back only. No mounting gear included.

Gave it as a present. Person I gave it to loved it. I also got one for me. I love it Had initial problem that company bent over backwards to fix problem. Clock has been working perfectly. Brass case is heavy and well-made. There is not a back to the brass case so it must be put on wall or someplace where you can't see the black. Glass dial is not very well-made and I accidentally broke one and ordered another one which is very easy to do Overall I highly recommend the supplier and recommend the clock. Very similar to the clocks that cost three or $400.

After about 6 months it started losing time of about half an hour a day. I installed it on my boat but it sure can't be used for navigation.The brass case is nice enough but the clock mechanism is a cheap piece of junk.
